scope java
public class example{ // A variable here is visible through the entire class. Every single method // in this program can see and modify the variable public static void main(String[] args){ // A variable here is only defined in main, therefore no other methods // can access or modify the variable for(){ // A variable here is only visible in the for loop, and no other part // of the program may access this variable }// for }// main }// class As seen by the examples above, where you put the variable will matter as to what can access, view and modify the variable, which is defined as scope
